Bloodstone Taric

Taric Visual and Gameplay Update Feedback/Bugs Thread

"Hey all! In case you hadn't noticed, TARIC, the TARIC of TARIC has received a Champion Update, and is now on PBE for all your feedback-y goodness.

Finally, sporting the glorious locks that he should have from the get-go, this is a complete overhaul of Taric's visuals, gameplay, and audio. We wanted to make him feel like an entirely new champion. In addition, all of Taric's skins have been remade and reconcepted to match today's quality bar. Gone is the "just a recolor" Emerald Taric, as it is now a fully fledged skin!

When you're looking at this statuesque man, please keep the following questions in mind!

How do you feel about Taric as a whole? Does he still feel like Taric to you? Better? Worse?

How do you feel about the clarity of the particles? Do they convey the effects when you want them to?

How do you feel about the skins? Do they properly capture the fantasy that you already know them for?

Read here to get more insight into Taric, and start to get an idea of what took him from the Gem Knight to the full on Shield of Valoran."

New Skins

To kick of the 6.8 PBE cycle we have SIX new skins - Infernal Diana, who was created in celebration of TEAM FIRE's victory at the 2015 All-Star event, and a set of SKT T1 team skins for Alistar, Elise, Renekton, Ryze, and Sivir to celebrate their victory as our 2015 Season world champions!

Miscellaneous

While it has went out to live for testing on the TR server in 6.7, the shop visual update continues to test on the PBE!

Champions

Kayle

Holy Fervor (Passive) no longer shreds armor.

Master Yi

Highlander (R)

Passive's CDR reduction on kill/assist lowered to 50% from 70%.

[Wording changed on Active - now "champion kills and assists refresh the duration by 4 seconds" from "extend duration of highlander by 4 seconds". Unsure if actual change here.]
